Fishing on the Oka in the Serpukhov region, paid and free reservoirs

The Oka is considered one of the largest rivers in the Moscow region. Here it is especially deep, as well as wide. In the Moscow region, the river is distinguished by the presence of shallows, rifts and great depths, which makes fishing the most interesting. More recently, there were quite a lot of fish in the river, which cannot be said about the present times. With the development of industry and other areas of human activity, the situation with the population of many fish species has deteriorated markedly. If earlier it was considered an untouched corner of nature, now you can’t say this.

Now just look, motor boats or boats are rushing along the river surface, both in search of places for recreation and the best places for fishing. All kinds of rest houses, camping sites and tourist bases are built along the banks of the river. But, despite this, here you can still find fishing spots and successfully go fishing. The fish have not stopped biting yet, so you can always count on the catch. Those who prefer outdoor recreation can appreciate all the delights of such fishing.

Fish plots on the Oka in the Serpukhov district

As mentioned above, there are still places on this river where real fishermen can “take their souls away”. These places are:

• The limits of the city of Serpukhov.
• The area of ​​the Lopaska River, or rather the place where it flows into the Oka.
• The limits of the city of Kashira.
• The limits of the city of Lakes.
• Malyushina dacha area.
• The limits of the city of Kolomna.

What places to look for

To choose a good place for fishing, you should be guided by some rules. For example:

• It is better to choose areas where there is no fast current, and there are no undercurrents or funnels.
• Pay attention to the nature of the bottom. The most successful places have a clean, even bottom strewn with small stones.
• The depth of the plots is also essential. Where there is continuous shallow water, one should not count on good fish.

As for winter fishing, there are certain nuances in the search for fish parking lots. For example:

• It is necessary to look for holes, that is, the deepest places, since the fish go to the holes for the winter.
• The main bait is a worm, maggot or bloodworm. At this time, the fish do not bite on nozzles of vegetable origin.
• When going ice fishing, you should think about how to dress warmly and how to provide yourself with a warm lunch or just a warm drink.

On the Oka River you can find a place for fishing at any time of the year. People tend to take tents, boats, etc. on their fishing trips in order to fish in comfort. At the same time, there are many options when you can go fishing and relax in comfort without additional fishing equipment. So that the fisherman does not carry a bunch of sometimes unnecessary things with him, special recreation centers are located on the banks of the Oka.

When is the best time to fish on the Oka?

When going fishing, you need to know when the fish biting on the Oka is the most active, based on the time of year. You can start in the spring, when the summer fishing season opens. During this period, activation of biting fish is observed. This is due to some reasons:

• With the advent of spring, the fish begins to prepare for spawning, so it actively moves around the reservoir, entering small rivers that flow into the Oka. Therefore, the tributaries of the Oka River may be the most efficient.
• Hungry after wintering, the fish is actively looking for something to profit from. She needs to restore her strength in order to spawn in a timely manner.

As a rule, for spawning, fish are looking for shallow water, where the water warms up much faster. Fish can also be in places where the current washes food from the coastal zone. In such places, fish gather in flocks, so fishing can be interesting.

Going fishing, you need to be prepared for the fact that a fairly large specimen can bite.

After the end of spawning, with the advent of summer, the fish tries to hide from the heat by swimming to depths or other hard-to-reach places. The biting becomes moderate, and in order to catch fish, it is necessary to swim to the middle of the river, where there is depth.

With the advent of autumn, pike and zander begin to become more active. This is due to the fact that the fish begins to prepare for the winter and tries to stock up on nutrients.
